NBA News & Notes

Yes they will stink but they have been on Christmas Day since LBJ got there no matter what their record looks like! I always thought teams that were in the playoffs the previous year got the nationally televised spots the following year……not teams that even missed the play in!

LBJ has been playing on Christmas every year since 06 i think. Doesn't matter if you are the worst team in the league, LBJ gets a Christmas game

Just read an article that pissed me off! Opening night the Lakers get a on national TV against the champs (Warriors) and even though they didn’t even make the play in they to be on Christmas Day against the Mavs. I know it’s LBJ but fuck…..come on!!!! The Lakers have underwhelmed the past two years and they still get a Christmas Day date?????

you should be happy to see the Lakers get embarrassed on national television LOL. By Christmas Day the sideline dynamics between Lebron and Westbrook alone will justify a massive viewing audience.

But how do the Knicks deserve a Christmas Day game???

The same way Affleck deserves J-Lo.

But how do the Knicks deserve a Christmas Day game???

1. New York
2. Oldest Arena over the world’s worst major train station.
3. Guy once scored 4 points in a game and that is somehow a top five sports moment of all time.
4. Arena isn’t even on Madison Square.
5. 50th anniversary season of their last title.
6. NBA hoping the muggers take the day off so fans have a 50-50 chance of avoiding assault.

That’s why nfl is bigger than the nba they market every team no matter how much they suck. Nba is a joke with their marketing

J-Lo is the Zach Randolph of pop singers.

Well, there will be no “return 3” and Lebron will end his career in LA. Must admit I’m disappointed.

According to LBJ he won’t end his career in LA but wherever Bronny ends up playing (unless the Lakers take him in 2024)

I really want the Clippers or Kings to take him now

There’s another option we haven’t considered! What if Bronny goes undrafted in 2024? Then he can just sign with his dad and the Lakers and LBJ won’t have to leave town at all

From a talent standpoint most likely, but someone will take a flyer

Kevin Durant seemingly ends trade request after he and Nets announce they will 'move forward with our partnership'

KD and the Nets appear to have mended fences.

LOL I totally predicted this, multiple times in this thread. I wish I could have put money on it. There was no reasonable return the Nets could get and no better situation Durant could realistically have gone to.

It truly would have been hilarious if he had again gone to the loser of the Finals (Boston) though.
